    Booting problem ...

    It is a Cooler Master Silent Pro M600 (I bought it in 2009). Yes, I have a volt meter, but I am no expert at all. I'd rather buy a new PSU, perhaps an EVGA one. Regards.

    Booting problem ...

    If I leave the PSU on and press the case start button it works properly. If I leave the PSU off for hours (and therefore the whole system) I have problems. I tend to think that the PSU is the culprit ... too old. Regards. Thank you for your help. PD. Sorry for my English. I'm from Spain.

    Booting problem ...

    Hello. Whenever I turn on the power supply and press the case switch button nothing happens. I have to wait for 20 seconds, press the button again and the booting process starts now. Is it a mobo problem or a power supply unit problem? It never happened before. Regards

    How frequent are dead pixels nowadays?

    I've had four LCD displays until now (VA and IPS, Samsung and NEC) and three of them have developed faulty subpixels. Does it occur so often or it's just I am unlucky?. Regards.

    Are 30" monitors too big?

    Now I have a 24". I'd like to upgrade to a 30". But a friend has told me that it is too much. Two major problems: a) A lot of light coming into your eyes which is not good for them. b) You have to turn your head continually to reach the whole screen. So I would like to have some other...
